    Chloe Swarbrick says it would be phenomenal if New Zealand has voted Yes to legalising recreational cannabis

    Chloe Swarbrick says it would be phenomenal if New Zealand has voted Yes to legalising recreational cannabis


    Preliminary referendum results are out at 2pm.

    The Green MP says during the campaign she often ventured directly into the bear pit.

    Swarbrick spent a lot of time on the likes of Newstalk ZB talkback, and speakiing with those who thought she was the devil incarnate.

    She says if it's a No vote - it will be difficult to discern where to go from there.
